  Abstract

Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a safe procedure with a low complication rate. We present a patient with severe coronary artery stenosis or disease who developed acute coronary ischemia of the anterior wall as a complication of TEE procedure. The possible mechanism can be stress during the procedure.

Keywords: Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE); Complications; Acute coronary ischemia
